(c) Section 3.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 with respect to any Receivable which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in any Receivable, the party discovering or receiving written notice of such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, (i) that the delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate which identifies that Receivables are being or have been repurchased shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by Santander Consumer, the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach and (ii) Santander Consumer, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge of such breach only if a Responsible Officer thereof has actual knowledge thereof, including without limitation upon receipt of written notice; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of Santander Consumer under this Section 3.6. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, or if Santander Consumer is required to purchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.2, then (a) the Servicer shall correct or cure such breach, if applicable, or (b) Santander Consumer shall purchase, or cause to be purchased, such Receivable from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Business Day before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if Santander Consumer elects, an earlier date) after the date Santander Consumer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure has not affected the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by, or at the direction of, Santander Consumer shall be at a price equal to the related Repurchase Price. In consideration for such

purchase, Santander Consumer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time, on such date of purchase (or, if Santander Consumer elects, an earlier date). Upon payment of such Repurchase Price, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and the Issuer shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by Santander Consumer to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in Santander Consumer or its designee all of the Issuer’s and Indenture Trustee’s rights in any Receivable and related Transferred Assets purchased pursuant to this Section 3.6. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Santander Consumer to purchase, or cause to be purchased, any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
